David Breslin的作品
Felix Gonzalez-Torres (1957–1996) began his art studies at the University of Puerto Rico before moving to New York City in 1979, where he attended the Whitney Independent Study Program, first in 1981 and again in 1983. He received his BFA from Pratt Institute, New York, in 1983 and his MFA from the International Center of Photography and New York University in 1987. From 1987 to 1991, Gonzalez-Torres was a part of the artist collective Group Material, whose collaborative, politically-informed practice focused on community engagement and activist interventions. Gonzalez-Torres died in 1996 from AIDS-related complications. David Breslin is the DeMartini Family Curator and Director of the Collection at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Prior to joining the Whitney, Breslin was the John R. Eckel, Jr. Foundation Chief Curator at the Menil Drawing Institute in Houston, Texas. Breslin has organized exhibitions such as Raw Color: The Circles of David Smith and Monet | Kelly and co-curated Make It New: Abstract Painting from the National Gallery of Art, 1950-1975 and An Incomplete History of Protest: Selections from the Whitney’s Collection, 1940-2017. Breslin has written essays on the work of Valentin Carron, Jenny Holzer, Cady Noland, Pablo Picasso, and Paul Thek, among others.
